About This Home

As of February 2025

Panoramic mountain and sunset views await in the heart of Vista! This exceptional residence combines modern elegance with over $75K in thoughtful upgrades, offering a peaceful retreat on a sprawling .39-acre lot. Enjoy unobstructed panoramic views with no neighbors behind, a private saltwater pool and spa, and a seamless blend of comfort and style. The home includes an attached 3-car garage, a Waterboy whole-house filtration and water softening system, weatherproofed outlets, Google Nest cameras, an ADT alarm system, brand-new pool equipment and pumps, solar panels, and a newly installed water heater. Step through the grand double doors into a light-filled interior with high-end flooring, upgraded lighting, and new doors throughout. A main-level bedroom with double doors, currently used as a home office, offers flexibility. The formal living room features French doors that open to the lush backyard, connecting indoor and outdoor spaces. Adjacent is the dining room with a modern chandelier and barn doors leading to the upgraded kitchen. The kitchen boasts quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an island with bar seating—a true centerpiece. Two-story vaulted ceilings enhance the open-concept kitchen and family room, where a cozy fireplace anchors the space. Glass doors lead to the outdoor patio, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. A convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spacious view deck for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The ensuite bath features dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and new plumbing and fixtures. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second level, with all bathrooms upgraded with modern fixtures and glass shower doors. The home shines with thoughtful enhancements, including fresh interior paint, new dimmer switches, recessed lighting, plantation shutters, and newly installed upstairs flooring, matched to the downstairs for a cohesive aesthetic. The exterior is an entertainer’s dream, featuring lush tropical landscaping, a spacious concrete patio, and a stunning pool and spa upgraded with new equipment and saltwater conversion. A new shed adds practical storage, while unobstructed views create a serene backdrop for gatherings or tranquil evenings under the stars. Located in a peaceful neighborhood, this home offers privacy and convenience, minutes from shopping, dining, parks, and Highway 76. With no HOA fees or Mello Roos, this meticulously upgraded, move-in-ready home balances luxury and functionality. Welcome home!
